Answer:

=\frac{2x^3+x^2-11x+14}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+2\right)\left(x-2\right)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Factor x² + 2x - 8: (x - 2) (x + 4)

=\frac{x}{x+4}+\frac{x-1}{x+2}+\frac{3}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)}

Step 2: Find the Least Common Multiplier of  x + 4, x - 2, (x + 4), (x - 2)

= (x + 4) (x + 2) (x - 2)

Step 3a: Conform the fractions based on the LCM (Least Common Multiplier)

= \frac{x\left(x+2\right)\left(x-2\right)}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+2\right)\left(x-2\right)}+\frac{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+4\right)\left(x-2\right)}{\left(x+2\right)\left(x+4\right)\left(x-2\right)}+\frac{3\left(x+2\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)\left(x+2\right)}

Step 3b: The denominators are equal, so combine the fractions.

=\frac{x\left(x+2\right)\left(x-2\right)+\left(x-1\right)\left(x+4\right)\left(x-2\right)+3\left(x+2\right)}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+2\right)\left(x-2\right)}

Step 4: Expand x(x + 2)(x - 2) +(x-1)(x+4)(x-2) + 3(x-2)

=\frac{2x^3+x^2-11x+14}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+2\right)\left(x-2\right)}

Have a great day!

Brennan has already run 16 miles on his own, and he expects to run 3 miles during each track practice. How many track practices
pentagon [3]

Answer:

It would take Brennan 4 track practice runs.

Step-by-step explanation:

He has already run 16 miles and needs to run 28 in total. If we are counting the 16 in the 28 miles, he would need to run only 12 more to reach his goal. And if he runs 3 miles a run, it would take him about 4 runs to finish his 28-mile goal.

(28-16=12 and 12/3=4)

I dont know how to divide a line segment.
melamori03 [73]

From point A, draw a line segment at an angle to the given line, and about the same length. The exact length is not important. Set the compasses on A, and set its width to a bit less than one fifth of the length of the new line. Step the compasses along the line, marking off 5 arcs. Label the last one C. With the compasses' width set to CB, draw an arc from A just below it. With the compasses' width set to AC, draw an arc from B crossing the one drawn in step 4. This intersection is point D. Draw a line from D to B. Using the same compasses' width as used to step along AC, step the compasses from D along DB making 4 new arcs across the line. Draw lines between the corresponding points along AC and DB. Done. The lines divide the given line segment AB in to 5 congruent parts.
